OOC: I'm not trying to be rude, or exaggerating in the slightest when I say that I really didn't understand one word of that. If this is still all stemming off the fact that I didn't make my RPing decision "clear enough" by stating the letter of my choice directly -- I figured that was pretty much obvious by what did as my character, but if it's how y'all prefer to do things here, that's fine with me, I'm just new at this so I didn't know. And if that's what is still bugging you and prompting this rant, sorry, I'll try to do better next time. But if that's the case, I don't think Essa is the one you should be getting mad at. She's been doing a really good job keeping this game going and keeping it fun for everyone to play -- which, by the way, is really hard, and I know because I've run large storytelling events like this before. So give her some credit, mkay? Like I said, not trying to make things worse or irritate anyone, but I feel like you're overreacting to whatever it was you were upset about in the first place. And if I was the problem in the first place, you shouldn't be blaming Essa -- because that really irritates me, a lot more than I'm allowed to say.
{JAMMERS! BUN02 ONLY!} OOC: bun02 actually I reread the post and yeah you were right I think it was because you didn't post your choice BUT here's my thing. That was your first ever actual RP move on here so there's that. Another thing I don't recall myself or jaypie EVER specifically stating that one MUST state their choice in the formatting that several RPers choose to state theirs (though theirs are not incorrect either). The reason he set in on me instead of you is because, as the host, I wasn't going to fix it or insist that you posted the letter and this has been something that has cropped up in the past as well. All in all I think you were simply the excuse and are not to blame at all. I don't want you taking any guilt over it.

Lolli I understand that you have a lot of ideas on how to improve the gameplay, and that's perfectly fine! But in this instance, Essa is merely following the result of the moderation. Bun's reply proceeded yours, so our Host accordingly described Bun's earlier arrival. Strictly speaking, we don't know who made the earlier mental decision to pick "A", but since Bun's post is moderated first, that means she technically announced her RP decision before yours. But at the end of all of this, both of you found the same, exact clue. Time is an irrelevant factor in this case.
A good way to voice your opinions would be through jammars. I'm sure Essa is very willing to listen to your suggestions. But here's the thing: she's occupied in the current gameplay. Modification to the rules to enhance order is great, but not when a game is already taking place. Changing things up will only increase chaos among the players, and the story will not be able to proceed. Perhaps in the break session between this game and the next, you can address her the issues you found throughout this playthrough and the two of you can discuss and find a solution that benefits both the Host and prospective players.
Essa Kryze Taking over the Host position isn't easy, but you've been doing awesome! You've been adjusting quickly to Jaypie's system and this RP wouldn't be possible without your help. None of us are Roleplay experts, and we just do what we can to hold it together. We're all very willing to learn together and help you throughout this game. We can always discuss and come up with ways to help the RP flow smoother in the future, so don't worry! You're enforcing the rules diligently and the game is not descending into pure chaos. Thank you for your dedication. ^)^
bun02 we're very happy that you're joining the RP! While you might not be familiar with all the details of the gameplay, you did exactly what was required to do: select a response and act accordingly. You have done nothing wrong. c:
I apologize if I'd mistaken your frustrations/irritations or interpreted the situation wrong. I'm just a fellow player^^

I agree TeaLeaf, couldn't have said it better myself.

Thank you very much for supporting my attempts at hosting, I'm very very glad to hear that it has been enjoyable for you and that I am doing a good job! ^v^ I think the original thing was she didn't say "A" when she choose made her RP move but as I told her, since that was her first ever RP move on this game and since I don't recall either myself or jaypie specifically stating that one must state their letter that I didn't call her on it. So lets hope together that with that clear everything can continue on with the game in fun manner!

Tigress jerks her head up toward the greenhouse at the sound of the scream, and darts toward the building as fast as she can alongside the other guests. She yanks her dagger out and prepares to face a dangerous killer, but when she bursts in, there is no one alive within. "Brick it," She mutters and slips her weapon back into its sheath. She sees the scuffed-up dirt and prepares to kneel to inspect it, but Bun and Lolimon beat her to it. Thus, she changes her mind and decides to inspect the fallen Jayclone. She tries to ignore the confused chattering and bustling of the crowd, and attempts to see through the dim light of the dark greenhouse.
OoC: B
What remains is still warm. She searches for any marks around her neck, head, and torso that could indicate how the smasher took care of its victim. It had to be a quick and efficient way, seeing that the Jayclone had been finished so quickly.
*the marks confirm that there was a struggle and the diagnosis is broken neck thus instantaneous smashing*
"Strangulation," Tigress murmurs under her breath. "Lovely." She concludes the smasher must have been strong, most probably a man with large hands, if they had finished off the jayclone so quickly after she'd cried out. She searches the clone's pockets, faintly hoping for a clue, although she is sure that seeing the smasher succeeded, he would have taken what he came for.
*A night owl at heart, Bun is still awake at the late hour and thus hears the commotion quite clearly. She rushes outside to the scene of the crime, her eyes widening in shock as she sees the chaos.* "I knew the rumors about this hotel...but this??" *Cautiously stepping through the forming crowd, she approaches the site of the smashing and begins to run her fingers lightly across the dirt, searching for clues.*
IC: Lolimon hobbles over, taking note of everything mentally and disregarding any insistence of jayclones for him to get away by absently threatening to sue the establishment, and meaning it. With much gritting of teeth and a little bit of red seeping through his pants leg he examines the crime scene for clues, disregarding his pain as he takes Tigress' reaction the wrong way because he's in pain and not his usual understanding self.
*bun who (technically) reached the crime scene and searched the dirt first finds only three purple-ish fibers very loosely clinging to one another lying in a un-potted cactus Lolimon sees this clue as well as she picks it up*
*Lifts the fibers closer to her eye for inspection, careful not to separate them* Huh. Weird... *She is momentarily tempted to dash back to her room with the fibers and examine them more thoroughly under her microscope, but she decides to show the clue to someone who might know more about it than she does. After a second of thought, she begins to look around the scene in search of the juice bar jayclone.*

*the jayclone seems extremely shaken as she babbles and is pale as a sheet and quite shaky* This is like the juice bar all over again! *she wails unhappily* last time it was a notebook and pen.....but what now!! *she begins to cry*
Calm down---shh---it's okay. It's okay. *Leaf brings the shaken Jayclone a little distance away from the crime scene, outside of the greenhouse and clear of the pouring guests* Breathe in, breathe out. You're safe now. You're safe. *she holds on to the Jayclone's hands and tries to ease the trembling*
*after a while, the photographer brings back some napkins and a cup of water and offer them to the Jayclone* Tell me...how did you find her, the Security Jayclone? Did you see anything unusual on your way to the greenhouse?

{JAMMERS! ESSA ONLY!} OOC: I'm not sure what's been already brought up in the past, but I thought maybe that triggered it. I didn't exactly take any guilt over it -- though, thank you for the reassurance just the same, because I had a feeling I'd just inadvertently disrupted the game with my first move. I mean, I didn't see anywhere in the rules that you had to post the letter, just as long as you acted on it. But I can see how in some instances posting the letter would clarify certain things. Overall I probably shouldn't have gotten so steamed up about it, but when indignation takes over me I fly off in all directions. Anyway, hopefully this whole thing is resolved peacefully, and we can focus on the game once again.

Thanks! Happy to be here. ^- ^ While it's true that I don't think what I did was wrong, I'm also going to try to familiarize myself more with the way things are typically done in this RP, and make some changes if necessary to help improve the flow of my contributions to the story. :3
